An amendment to a Lenawee County business loan to expand GLOV Enterprises’ line of credit to handle increased product orders was approved by a committee Friday.

“They’re going gang-busters over there,” said Tim Robinson of the Lenawee Economic Development Corp. which handled the original loan application in 2011.

This is the second amendment to the county loan, enabling the plastics company to borrow more from a private source to pay for more materials and other up-front costs of filling additional orders.

The county’s business revolving loan fund committee agreed Friday to allow GLOV Enterprises to add $800,000 in bank debt that has a repayment priority ahead of the county’s loan.

The company received $300,000 from the county’s revolving business loan fund last year that helped GLOV Enterprises carry out a $1.5 million upgrade of the former Tecumseh Thermo Plastics plant. The company was to add 60 new jobs.

Equipment was added at the Tecumseh plant to manufacture medical supplies and other plastic parts in addition to license plate lights the Tecumseh plant makes for Ford Motor Co.

The company’s need for additional money to keep up with new orders is a good sign, said county commission chairman John Tuckerman, R-Blissfield.

Committee members did not hesitate in approving the amendment to the loan agreement.

The process for approving business loans in the future could be changed by the end of this year, Robinson told the committee.

Lenawee County is now in a region with Washtenaw and several other counties. The state recently approved a proposal by Great Lakes Capital Fund of Lansing to take over management of revolving loan funds to be pooled by all the counties.

Applications prepared by the LEDC for businesses in Lenawee County will be submitted to Great Lakes Capital Fund. The firm will then make recommendations to a board made up of representatives from the counties.
